Welcome to Byeni - a peaceful rural sanctuary where sustainable living meets modern comfort. Nestled on approximately 98.84 acres (40.71 hectares) of native bushland just 11km from the historic township of Glen Innes, this thoughtfully designed property offers a lifestyle of intention, independence, and serenity under wide open skies.
The main residence is a warm and inviting home featuring a rustic rendered exterior that blends effortlessly with its natural surroundings. Inside, soaring ceilings and clerestory windows flood the space with light, while timber floors, exposed beams, and a central fireplace create a sense of rustic elegance. The open-plan layout flows seamlessly from the kitchen to the living and dining areas, extending outdoors through multiple access points to verandas and established gardens.
A separate studio area offers flexible space for creative pursuits, guest accommodation, or a home office, all surrounded by nature. The home has been designed with sustainability in mind, operating entirely off-grid with no compromise on modern amenities.
A robust 5kW Victron solar system with 6.64kW of Longi panels and a 15kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate battery bank, installed in spring 2022, powers the main residence. The system is expandable by an additional 5kWh and has proven exceptionally reliable - capable of running a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine all at once. A backup generator is in place for peace of mind; though only used on rare occasions, it is more than capable of supporting the home during extended periods of low solar input. With remote app monitoring and excellent energy efficiency, the system comfortably endures four to five consecutive overcast days before the generator is needed.
The shed is supported by a secondary 3kW solar setup with 4kW of panels and lead gel battery storage, providing ample capacity to power heavy tools and workshop equipment.
Water security is well established, with more than 50,000 liters of total rainwater storage across the property. A 72-square-metre protected garden space offers the perfect area for cultivating vegetables, herbs, or flowers. Key structures are surrounded by a cleared bush line, enhancing both fire protection and year-round accessibility.
Whether you're seeking a full-time tree change, a self-sufficient rural retreat, or a creative escape, Byeni offers a rare opportunity to live sustainably and comfortably in one of New South Wales' most scenic high-country regions.
